the gala!

here are some photos from the lutherhill gala. we had a FANTASTIC time, and raised more money than we were hoping for - a great combination!

that's the two goofs i work with - justin in the black and shawn on the right. matt should be in this picture too, but he's out backpacking right now.

jenny did a GREAT job with the table decorations - the theme was s'mores and champagne. the centerpiece has a block of cedar (that was cut down at camp because of the storm back in april) and then the red, orange, and yellow beads to make the candle look like a fire sitting on top of the cedar wood! the pictures are of campers over the last few years.

here's the lutherhill staff - again minus matt and also minus kristin. and minus some kitchen staff and other things...so basically this is not the lutherhill staff...but it's some of us.

this is by far my favorite of the night! the two girls closest to the stage are probably some of my favorite kids ever - both of them are in my confirmation class at st. paul and they were both camers this summer as well.

let's just say i'm exhausted today. once the gala was over, a group of 16 of us went out on the town in down town houston until about 2 am. then, i had to be at a church at 9:15 am this morning to do a lutherhill promo. i think i'll go bed early tonight...
